EP100: Conor Coady (England International)

For our landmark 100th episode, it is a pleasure to welcome Conor Coady to the show. Conor is the former captain of Wolverhampton Wanderers and made over 300 appearances for the club, leading the newly promoted side to back-to-back 7th placed finishes in 2019 and 2020. Conor began his career at Liverpool and has represented Sheffield United, Huddersfield Town, Everton, Leicester and Wrexham. He is currently on loan at Charlton Athletic. Conor also has 10 caps for England and was selected in the Euros 2021 and the World Cup 2022 squads. In this episode, we discuss how Conor likes to prepare himself to perform under pressure, the characteristics of a good dressing room, and he reveals which coach has got the best out of him in his career. We focus on leadership, and Conor takes us into the England camps he experienced under Gareth Southgate, sharing what it was about his leadership that built togetherness in the squad. We also hear reflections on the leadership of Harry Kane and Ruben Neves, while Conor dispels some myths about footballers that we might hear on the terraces. Learn more about your ad choices.
